Pros & Cons
Pros
I have the exact one that is 25 + yrs old. It has been an american icon for over 100 years now for a good reason; it is perfect! The only thing i don't care for is that the globe is now made in china, because it looks like the older coleman lanterns. ... Read More
They also use a generator similar to the kerosene models that can be disassembled and cleaned easily over and over. They have a single knob flame adjuster like the northstar, with an integrated cleaning function. Comes with the plastic case pictured, ... Read More
Brightness feels like 80w-100w (220v) clasic bulb. Works great with regular gasoline of any kind.
Are they as quick, convenient or as safe as a battery operated lantern. For me they are great but i like hand tools as much as power tools and like the nostalgia of old technology.
Cons
Case latch is very un reliable. Hard case is incorrect. Likely a problem with the generator.
The mantles that it comes with aren't very good. Peerless mantles are much better, brighter and more durable if you can get them. The included mantles burnt holes thru the sides and burnt holes in the mantle.

Price
Best deal i have found so far.
With that said, for a bit more money you can buy a small folding solar panel and some rechargeable led lanterns/lights that are... Read More
- gasoline is substantially cheaper than white gas.
I'd rather pay for more expensive fuel than have to buy and replace generators.
Shipping
It arrived on time and brand new with absolutely no damage or issues.
Packaging/appearance
It came with small dent, but box was not damaged.
It’s also relatively lightweight for its size, making it easy to pack and carry.
Competitiveness
Coleman makes another version of this lantern that puts out a little more light but this one is still plenty bright for camping... Read More
It’s a little more tedious to use compared to the propane versions, but i prefer this one.
You can also find some older fuel models that are not this small.

I just wanted to tell people that if you use gasoline in these it will clog the generator and you will have to replace it often
